A green ✓ marks the better figure on that row. “—” means the manufacturer does not publish it; a blank is never counted as a loss. Scores compare each model within its own category.

What the makers don't publish

Apollo publishes every specification we track for the Apollo City. Hiboy does not publish tyre size for the Hiboy Titan Pro — 1 of the 15 specifications we track. We show a dash for each of those rather than estimate, and a missing figure is never counted against a scooter in our scoring — the component is dropped and the remaining weights renormalise. Those rows cannot be compared head to head, so treat this as a comparison of what is published rather than a complete picture. If one of the unpublished figures is the one your decision turns on, ask the seller in writing before you buy: a maker that measures a specification usually states it, and silence is a reasonable prompt to look harder.

Motor & speed

On top speed the two are effectively level — 32 mph plays 33 mph — so speed alone will not decide this, and you should weigh the other rows more heavily. At the Titan Pro's speeds, braking matters more than the extra miles per hour: check the build section below, because stopping distance climbs faster than speed does. The Hiboy Titan Pro carries more motor on paper, and that surplus shows up in acceleration and on climbs rather than in a higher cruising speed — the place a stronger motor actually earns its keep is the hill you take twice a day. The Apollo City also claims the steeper hill-climbing grade, worth noting if your commute has a real gradient rather than a gentle rise. Read any top-speed figure as a maximum reached under ideal conditions; rider weight and gradient both pull it down in the real world, so treat these numbers as a ceiling rather than a cruising promise.

Battery & range

Battery capacity is the honest way to compare range, because watt-hours cannot be marketed around: the City holds 960 Wh and the Titan Pro 1728 Wh. The Hiboy Titan Pro's 80% larger pack will out-last the other on the same route whatever the two brochures claim, and it is the single number to trust most in this section. Both claims deserve the usual discount. The City's 43-mile figure realistically works out to about 24–30 miles once you account for a normal rider at real speeds; the Titan Pro's 80 lands at roughly 44–56. Plan around the lower end of whichever band matters to you: if your daily round trip does not fit inside it with margin to spare, the range difference here is the deciding factor and you should pick the bigger battery. Recharging also differs: the Apollo City is back to full in about 4.5 hours against 13, which matters if you top up between a morning and evening commute rather than overnight. Whichever you choose, remember that both figures assume a fresh battery; a pack loses roughly 20–30% of its capacity after a couple of years of daily cycling, so a used example of either will fall short of these numbers.

Build & ride

Weight is where the daily reality lives: 65 lb against 103.6 lb, a 38.6 lb difference. If you carry the scooter up stairs or onto a train, the lighter Apollo City is the one you will actually keep using — the difference between a scooter that gets ridden and one that gathers dust is often a single flight of steps. Both run suspension at both ends, so both should ride comfortably over broken ground — a genuine point in common rather than a tie-breaker. Each publishes a water-resistance rating (IP66 and IPX4); the higher of the two shrugs off heavier rain, though neither should be ridden through standing water or pressure-washed. Braking favours the Hiboy Titan Pro, whose hydraulics are stronger and more consistent at the lever than the other's setup — the specification that matters most as speed rises, and worth prioritising over almost any other feature on a fast scooter.

Price, score & value

The Apollo City is the cheaper of the two, $1,299 against $1,530 — a $231 gap. Whether that gap is worth closing depends entirely on whether the pricier scooter's advantages above line up with your priorities. Our within-category score puts them level at 65/100, which is the model saying what the specs already suggest: this is a close call decided by fit, not by a clear winner. If value per dollar is your lens, use the cost-of-ownership calculator on this site: a slightly cheaper scooter with pneumatic tyres can cost more to run over a few years than a pricier one on solid tyres, and the sticker price alone hides that.

What the extra $231 buys

What these numbers actually govern

Here is what each of these measures controls in general — both the ones that separate these two and the ones they share. These describe the measure, not a claim about how either scooter rides, which we have not tested.

charge time

Charge time matters most if you top up between a morning and an evening commute rather than overnight.

claimed range

Every claimed range figure is measured at a light rider weight, a low constant speed and on flat ground, which is why we show a computed real-world band beside it.

battery capacity

Watt-hours are the single best predictor of range, because capacity is the one range input that cannot be marketed around.

weight

Weight decides the moments off the scooter: carrying it up a flight of stairs, lifting it onto transit, loading it into a car boot.

brakes

Hydraulic discs are more consistent at the lever than mechanical discs, and drums trade outright stopping power for lower maintenance — a difference that grows with speed.

Suspension (both dual)identical on both

Suspension is the component that most changes how a scooter handles broken pavement; where both models carry the same arrangement, road comfort is not a differentiator between them.

Tyre type (both tubeless)identical on both

Pneumatic and tubeless tyres absorb road imperfections that solid tyres pass into the deck; solid tyres trade that comfort for never puncturing. A shared construction means the same trade on both.

Drive (both Dual motor)identical on both

A second motor adds traction and acceleration at the cost of weight and battery drain. Where both use the same arrangement, drive layout is not a separator.

Price & where to buy

Who should buy which

Buy the Apollo City if you top up between commutes rather than overnight (4.5 h vs 13 h), or you carry it up stairs or onto transit (65 lb vs 103.6 lb — a decisive 37% edge). Buy the Hiboy Titan Pro if your trips are longer and range decides it (80 mi vs 43 mi claimed — a decisive 46% edge), or you want the bigger battery (1728 Wh vs 960 Wh — a decisive 44% edge). Whichever you pick, 4 specifications are identical across both — voltage, suspension, tyre type — so those rows cannot decide it.

Bottom line: the Apollo City is the safer default here — it recharges faster (4.5 h vs 13 h). The Hiboy Titan Pro earns its place if more range (80 mi vs 43 mi) matters more to you. Every figure here is the manufacturer's published claim or a value we compute from it, linked back to each maker's own specification so you can check it yourself.
